Helsinki With A Local.

“It’s Nordic, but not Scandinavian, halfway between Stockholm and Saint Petersburg, and only eighteen minutes from Tallinn by helicopter.”
(Louis Vuitton City Guide 2008)

Helsinki lies not only from a geographical perspective between Stockholm and Saint Petersburg, but can also be classified as somewhere in-between. I read this many times and even though I haven’t been to any of them before, I can clearly see something of both, Russian and Scandinavian influence in the architecture and cityscape. When walking through the streets I caught myself many times comparing Helsinki to Copenhagen or Moscow. Scandinavian minimalism meets Russian magnificence. A good mix, that cannot be overlooked when passing some of the countless cafés and interior stores.

24 Hours in Singapore. Singapore often serves as a stopover when going to Australia or Bali due to its good geographic location. That's why many people spend only one or two nights in Singapore before hopping on another plane. But trust me even within only 24 hours there is still a lot to do or see…

Copenhagen Travel Tips.

The past month has been a busy one, as I had almost non-stop friends and family visiting. Of course they did not only come to visit Copenhagen, but also to see me. 😉 And it was a pleasure for me to show them around in Copenhagen. I personally really like it when someone provides me with a lot of insider knowledge when I travel. It makes my stay easier and keeps me away from tourist traps. I love to discover new places, but having some first hand experience is always twice as nice. That’s why I thought it was time to share some of my Copenhagen travel tips with you. These tips will help you when I am not there to show you around. 🙂

Long time, no travels. As much as I love the change of settings and my steadier life, I sometimes miss my old busy airport life and all the traveling. That’s why it makes me beyond happy to finally have some travels on my agenda again. And this time it is something big, something I’ve been dreaming of for quite some time now. But first things first. Those of you who follow me on Instagram or have read my Travel Bucket Listfrom this summer know how obsessed I am with the New7Wonders of the World.

The older I get the more traveling is about food and trying new restaurants and cafés. I love finding inspirations on Instagram or HappyCow for vegan (friendly) places I would like to eat at.

That’s why I prepared this “Vegan in Copenhagen” blogpost to share with you some vegan places I’ve been to.

Impressions from Kronborg Castle, Denmark.

Weekends are for traveling, right? Exploring new spots is such a nice way to end a week and enrich my Erasmus stay here in Denmark. I am kind of busy during the week (hello class attendance!). Therefore I only have the weekends to explore as much of Copenhagen and its surroundings as possible.
